I mean what’s really good?

Just writing that got me thinking about an older Cam’Ron ft. Juelz Santana song, Hey Ma. I remember the video used to have a skit with folks going “whazz gooooood” on the phone I mean like “whazzuuuuup” but what’s good. Got it? If it wasn’t this video let me know which one was it. A message to Ma at mi casa. Hey Ma! What’s really good?

Haha, it’s all good. You got a heavy history lesson this morning with the Momotaro Concept so thought of dropping some sneak previews to put balance into things. It’s all about balance, just like this edition is about KIKS TYO. The guys from KIKS have been dropping sneak peeks throughout the day of which I chose few that very much give an idea of what we can expect from the label this coming AW2010. The focus of the latest pics have been on Ms. Kana Tsugihara. A gravure model whose assets have gotten her plenty of attention. She’s one of the latest muses of KIKS TYO and ranks among the hottest as well.

The below pics are but teasers with Kana at her home rocking KIKS tees but all I can say is damn…

Here’s a little video on Kana. I thought the video would fit the day since it’s time for the Game 7 of the NBA Finals. She got game! There was actually another video (or many) about this lovely lady, but since I would like to keep the blog safe for office I chose not to post those. But if you want to see them, all you need to do is YouTube Kana Tsugihara.

I’m sure there are plenty of dudes who would not mind playing 1 on 1 with Ms. Tsugihara. Again, it’s all good. We will keep you posted when we get more pics, details and news from Japan.

That’s all for now, I will switch into chill mode and get mentally prepared for the Lakers x Celtics battle ahead. Be easy everyone, one love y’all…

SaturDay is turning into night. That’s all good, spent a day in a birthday party and saw a pair of well worn 0901 Momotaro Jeans that were actually torn and not just worn. At least from the cuffs. Today’s post is not just about that but more of a sneak preview of new stuff courtesy of KIKS TYO.

I will post more information on the designs once they become available on our online store but here’s what you can expect in a week or so.

KIKS TYO – Nanami Matsubayashi – Girl Next Door

KIKS TYO – Nanami Matsubayashi – Black Wings

KIKS TYO – Cut Off Tee

Fresh tees for the summer time. If you’re interested in ensuring that you get one of the shirts in your size, drop an email to info@nordicdenimhouse.com and let us know and we reserve one for you.

I’m off to enjoy my Saturday evening. Be easy everyone!

I’m running on a high dose of adrenaline after a day full of multitasking. But have no fear, it’s been all good too.

I posted a short clip on our FB Page showing dude doing tricks on a “bicycle” wearing Momotaro Jeans. Well this time I am showing a little more of that. A dude doing  BMX tricks jumping off a number of people wearing Momotaro Jeans. See it yourself. Pretty cool stuff and everybody’s wearing Momotaros too.

This is a promotional stunt for by 430 x Momotaro Jeans. A collaboration that resulted in a limited edition bag you see below. The bag is pretty cool having seen it in person. The Denim 3Way bag serves as a briefcase, messenger bag and back bag. The GTB/Japan lines add a nice touch as well. Would match nicely with pretty much any pair of jeans.

I like the street spirit of the video and it goes to show you can do a lot of stuff in a pair of Momotaro Jeans. My project ain’t got nothing on this. Imagine these jeans in one year of wear and definitely tear following close contact with asphalt. Then again, it could be that the dude is so good that he never falls down.

Speaking of Momotaro Jeans, here’s our first sneak preview of the night. I am dropping an update on the G003-MB project later this week

Then the other previews of this Thursday evening. I’m not saying too much about it, I rather put my words into a question form. Can you say Aya?

I kicked off the sneaker season today when I left the boots home for the first time since Copenhagen back in February. The snow is almost gone (from the roads at least) and it’s finally starting to feel like Spring. That means Summer cannot be too far behind. Nevertheless, take care of yourselves and be easy, I know I will. Peace.

One thing’s for sure, I am not feeling all too well. Remember when I mentioned that I felt much better already after some rest, well that was what we could refer to as calm before the storm. Damn, that’s all I can say. Three days of seasonal flu ain’t too precious. I’m down with a flu but definitely not down with the flu.

My biggest achievement in the past few days has been the finished Born Rich TVB series marathon at casa de Tony_Stark. Lucky I have had my lovely wife to accompany yours truly. The series was not half bad and I don’t even remember when was the last time I was watching Hong Kong drama series, haha. I guess last time was back in Singapore or Malaysia over a year ago.

Well enough of complains, back to business. Before my unfortunate encounter with the seasonal flu, we picked up few newcomers from our friends at KIKS TYO. I mentioned the name Yuki Hoashi just few days back and here she is in all her glory. The new limited edition Baby J’s and Terminator Tees featuring the lovely Ms. Hoashi. The tees are now available and if you want to ensure a piece just contact us and we’ll put one aside for you.

Lastly something new for the Spring Season. A 3/4 denim shirt. All you can get from the shirt at this point is a sneaky sneak peek. More will follow shortly.

As mentioned in the past, The Year Of… brand has expanded its market to the liqueur scene releasing an exclusive Sake limited to 120 bottles.  According to The Year Of… “this Daiginjo, was brewed by the superb water from the famous Ibuki Mountain, in Japan. The family responsible for this delicacy has brewed sake since 1672.” Now’s that a long time. The cost per bottle is 155 USD and the bottle and packaging feature art by renowned artist Simon Birch and in a style true to the brand mixes the best ingredients and artisan spirit all packed to a nice bottle. There are 20 super limited bottles that include the gold flake version of the sake. So if you’re lucky it could be yours. It is the year of the golden tiger after all. The little birdies chirped that there are still few bottles left so if you’re a friend of sake or the brands, or just enjoy the finer things in life you can contact us or theyearof.net for details.

I would believe this is not the last you will be hearing about this sake. Naturally we will keep you posted.

Then to the sneak(er) preview mentioned on the headline. My pursuit of awesome kicks for the summer is still going on, but although I might have not found my sneakers just yet, that doesn’t mean I could not help you in your pursuit (should you be thinking of a pair of kicks for the summer).

I present to you: The Year Of… x K-Swiss Sneakers.

The Year Of… brand is known for their collaborations and this one is somewhat a classic. The shoes are as rare as it gets with a limited number released for the Hong Kong market. Needless to say just like the sake, these are made with precision and feature signature TYO details such as gold foil vine design on the side and “burned” The Year Of… stamp on the back. I would cop myself a pair of these in an instant but being the bog foot I am I can only have myself a pair as a collector’s piece. But then again my size 14 US feet are notoriously picky when it comes to shoes. The available sizes range from 40 to 44 (European sizes) at the moment.

That said , the shoes are available in selected sizes but feel free to contact us for details on the available sizes and pricing of the shoes.

That’s all for now. I’m off to continue my healing process to get myself back in action by Monday. Be easy everyone and have a great weekend.

It’s a new year and new year means new products. Last time I introduced our new brands QUOLOMO and erect81, but this week I get back to our old friend KIKS TYO and more precisely the new KIKS girl for the Spring 2010, Yuki Hoashi.  Just when you got the first glimpse of the upcoming shirts featuring Yuu Tejima we bring you the fresh face of the Sneaker Girl series and I can tell she fits the league of Yuko Ishida and Aki Hoshino very well.

The new shirts for the month of February include Baby J’s with Yuki holding a bunch of Baby Jordans in her arms.  No further description required, let picture explain the rest.

The other newcomer is is titled Terminator and this time the lovely Ms. Hoashi is posing with a pair of Terminators. As the title says, the shirt is inspired by the Terminator movies as well as the series Sarah Connor Chronicles. The movies ain’t got nothing on this. Lovely.

Let this serve as a sneak preview for what to expect in the not so distant future. Personally I can’t wait to get these shirts. KIKS are keeping it fresh and we do our best to do the same. To be frank, it’s not too hard as the weather has been rather chilly for about a week already. I’ll continue on that note with this week’s Copper G003-MB edition. But until then, stay fresh and enjoy the weekend to the fullest, I know I will. Peace.

Although it does not really feel like a new decade, we’ve journeyed through one tenth of this century, ain’t that something. Well busy week behind all of us, needless to say more about that. But don’t get me wrong, busy is good.

Without further due, we’re throwing a little New Year’s promotion in celebration of the newly started year 2010 and the approaching year of the tiger. Use coupon code NDH-NY10 at the checkout to get 10% off from all of your purchases at Nordic Denim House.

Earlier I mentioned that New Year also means new products, not just from our existing brands but we will have two new brands available as soon as next month. I will get into more detail about these brands soon but below just a little sneak preview of what’s coming ahead.

Another thing worth mentioning is that we’re getting a re-stock of Momotaro Jeans Vintage Label 0201 -jeans shortly and if you would like to get these jeans in a special size just contact us for details at info(a)nordicdenimhouse.com.
